Usage

saveAttachment(pattern, fname, writeIfExists = TRUE, adjustfn = TRUE)

Arguments

pattern	the attachment to find. Can be a regular expression.
fname	the mbox file
writeIfExists	logical
adjustfn	default is TRUE: adjust filenames on Windows?

Details

The function is currently only tested with mbox files (which is the format that Thunderbird uses, or the format of nnfolders in Gnus (http://www.gnus.org/). The function will load the whole mbox file into memory, which may not work very well if the file is large.
